Need help with Daytona bracelet setup
Hi guys,
Picked up Daytona white dial 2 weeks ago. Love the watch and it has been on my wrist since left AD. Oh well...put on Sub C for about 5 sec and decide to put Daytona back on. Here is what i need help/suggestion with i'm trying to get the best setup for bracelet, have to admit that Daytona wear more comfortable than Sub C but i don't think i got best bracelet setup for my Daytona yet. My wrist is 6.5", i got 5 1/2 links on 12 o'clock, 5 (5 1/2 if i count perm link) on 6 o'clock, micro adjustment moved to outter pin and quick adjust system closed. I'll go back to AD this Tuesday to move micro adjust back to middle pin as it's too loose. Not sure if i should move 1 link from 6 o'clock to 12 side as the watch doesn't stay on middle of my wrist. i have similar setup for my Sub C, 4 on 12 and 5 on 6. Would love to hear from other Daytona owners on how you weare this awesome watch. |

I have found that it usually is best to keep the same number of links on each side and heavily tinker with the adjustments on the Daytona. |

On mine, as weird as it sounds, the only way I could get it just right was to take out an extra link, and then keep the comfort extension open...I ended up with 5 links on boths sides...I don't know if it is just psychological, but adjusting it using the fine adjustments on the clasp never felt right, while having the comfort link opens feels spot on.

I have similiar size wrist. 4 links on 6 o'clock and 6 on 12 works best for me.
